Brief Description

The book contains a more detailed extended version of a lecture held by the Bioinformatics programme at the University of Hamburg, titled “Evaluation of Modern Biotechnology and Bioinformatics”. The following lecture topics will be included:

The volume serves two equally important purposes. It provides an introductory level understanding of the presented topics while including a more in-depth analysis of the topics covered in the lecture as a preparation for the exam. Each central question is therefore presented in detail, supplementary materials are made available and further literature is recommended.
